Summary

David is gay, disabled and profoundly horny. He can't eat, drink or shower by himself – or wank. Totally inexperienced, he embarks on a sexual and romantic odyssey, armed with a fierce brain, and dick pics that he has to get someone to take.
Can he keep it casual whilst also relying on round-the-clock care? And will he manage the thrill and uncertainty of random hook-ups after a lifetime of knockbacks?
Animal is a hilarious, challenging and heartbreaking play by Jon Bradfield, from a story by Bradfield and Josh Hepple. It won the inaugural Through the Mill Playwriting Prize, was shortlisted for the Papatango Prize, and was first performed at the Hope Mill Theatre, Manchester, and Park Theatre, London, in 2023.

Available since: 03/16/2023.

Print length: 136 pages.

The inspiration for writing poetry came from Sybil's fathers' story, which he wrote after her mother passed. Having left home at 13 she knew very little about her parents and initially was so enthralled with his story that she believed it would make a great book, but as she started to write found that writing in verse flowed much easier. Her siblings were also grateful for the writing of this first poem as they also had no idea of the early part of their fathers' life. From there she found everyday life and happenings around her gave her material to continue writing. Now retired and not having a mind cluttered with work, it never ceases to amaze her how these stories come to her and just must be written, often waking in the night, mulling over new poems, and having to quickly write lines down before trying to get back to sleep again. The local pastor has also tapped into this gift and she is often asked to write a poem to go with a Sunday sermon.

The potential readership of this book is wide and varied. The book is humorous in places and in others, almost spiritual. It is written for those who have lost a spouse or other loved one, for those with a mum or dad, son or daughter, or grandchild. It is for those who have been to sea and understand this awesome place. It is for those who have thought about their own mortality and those who grieve. It is also for those who have thought about the deeper aspects of life, death, and the universe. The poems are diverse, powerful, intense and, at times, sensitive and intimate. It is hoped also that some will make you laugh as well as cry; they will certainly make you think. In short, this book is for you.
